The Patriots tight end, rumored to be considering retirement following New England’s FORTY ONE-33 defeat to Philadelphia in Tremendous LII, is anticipated to return for the 2018 season, according to NFL Community’s Ian Rapoport.

“The Expectation is that #Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski will go back for 2018 after wondering his future, I’m advised. He might never make a grand assertion, but the trust is leisure possibilities (acting WWE) will wait,” Rapoport tweeted Wednesday.

The file comes days after Gronkowski, 28, cryptically tweeted approximately his long run, which has remained something of an issue mark following put up-game comments in Minnesota in advance this month.

“I’ll sit in the subsequent couple of weeks and see the place I’m at,” Gronkowski said at the time.

Regardless That NBC Sports Activities Boston’s Tom E. Curran found out Gronkowski had regarded as stepping away from the sport following a aggravating training camp, during which he butted heads with coaches referring to training methods, it appears Gronkowski is hanging his conceivable WWE occupation at the back burner — for now, anyway.
